《Brunette》Part 38

Tomorrow is Camila and Lauren's wedding.
They both calmed down a bit.
Lauren and I may or may not have got in an argument yesterday and she made me sleep on the couch.
I'm in the kitchen going through Instagram and she walks in and goes to the fridge and grabs a water bottle.
"Come on Lauren it didn't mean anything,"
"Getting caught out in public with your ex? How would you feel if I went out with Christian in public?"
"He wants to get back with you. Actually no- he wants to fuck you so I would be pissed,"
"And how am I supposed to trust your ex?"
"Lauren we're just friends okay. I love you,"
"I didn't even know you were talking to her again,"
"Lauren come on,"
She opens her water water bottle and drinks it then throws it away and walks away.
A few hours passed and she locked herself in our room.
I knock and she groans.
"Go the fuck away!"She yells.
"Lauren open the door,"
"No!"
"Just open it please,"
I hear the lock click and she opens it.
"What do you want?"She asks.
"Lauren I'm sorry. If you don't ever want me to talk to her I won't talk to her anymore,"I respond and wrap my arms around her waist.
"I just wish you didn't lie to me,"
"Babe I knew if I told you I was hanging out with her you would get mad. We just talked to catch up and clear up our past. We both agreed that what happened, happened and we'll never bring it up,"
"Really?"
"Yeah and she was telling me about how her brother was going to try to break us up because he's had a crush on me since we were kids and she wanted to tell me because I still live in the same house, and she knows I love you,"
"I'm sorry for getting mad. And making you sleep on the couch,"She says looking down.
"It's okay, I should've told you first,"
"I feel like a bitch,"She says.
"You aren't,"
She connects our lips and I reciprocate the kiss.
She tries pulling me to the bed, but I pull away.
She tries to lean in again but I tilt my head.
"What?"She asks.
"You think I'm going to give in that easily when you teased me two days ago at your parents house, in the car, and in here?"
She groans.
"I'm sorry,"She says grabbing my hand.
"Sorry doesn't fix it,"
"How can I make it up to you?"She asks.
"You can take me on a date,"I say smiling.
"Alright. Go get ready princess,"She says and kisses my cheek before walking downstairs.
I already showered so I just have to change.
I put this on.
I walk downstairs and Lauren looks at me as she walks out of the kitchen.
"Are you ready?"She asks putting her hand out. I place my hand in hers and she intertwined our fingers.
As we walk to the door she grabs her keys and wallet.
As we step outside my phone rings. I grab it out of my pocket and check.
"Hey babe I got to answer this it's Alex,"I say.
"Okay that's fine. I'll start the car,"She says and peck my lips before walking to the car. I answer the call and put the phone to my ear.
"Hey Alex what's up?"I ask.
"Addison's in the hospital,"She says.

"What!? Why!?"I ask.
"Her ex Bryce Hall, he uh came to visit friends and he saw Addison. He-he. Never mind,"She says.
"He what Alex!?"I ask.
"He raped her!"
"I got to go,"I say and hang up.
I instantly scroll to Jadens contact.
I put my phone away and walk to the car.
"Change of plans Laur. I'm gonna go somewhere. Please stay home. I don't want you getting hurt,"I say opening the door to the car.
"What are you talking about?"She asks.
"Something came up,"I say and clench my jaw.
"Why do you look mad?"
"Just promise me you'll stay home,"I say.
"Not until you tell me what's happening,"
"Lauren just go inside! Just fucking listen to me! Stay in there until I come back! Shit came up and I have to go!"I yell.
She flinches and instantly gets out the car and runs inside. I hate yelling at her, but this isn't the time.
I get in the car and since she left the car on I get in and shut the door.
I start driving to Jadens house.
Once I get there I open the door and instantly walk over to Bryce before punching him.
"What the hell Addison!"He yells.
"I'm not Addison! I'm Y/N! Addison is in the fucking hospital because of you!"I say and punch him again.
He grabs my arm to stop me, but I kick him in between his legs and he drops to the floor. I take this chance to kick his face.
"Touch anyone without their consent and see what happens next time!"I yell and storm out.
I go to the car and start driving home.
Once I get there I take the keys out and shut the door. I lock the car then I walk inside the house.
I slam the door behind me and I look in the kitchen and grab a water bottle from the fridge.
I hear footsteps and I turn to face the stairs and see Lauren.
"What happened? And don't say 'nothing' because I know you don't yell at me unless it's something important,"She says and grabs my hand.
I put the water bottle on the counter and I turn to look at her.
"I'm sorry I yelled Lauren. I didn't mean to. It's just. Addisons ex boyfriend. He raped her and she's in the hospital,"I say looking down.
"How about we go visit her. If I were her I would want you by side. I wouldn't want you to get hurt. Let's just go visit her,"She says.
"I have to change my shirt first,"I say.
"Why?"She asks.
"Blood,"I say.
"You fought someone?"She asks.
"I'm sorry Laur. I really am,"I say looking down at the floor. She lifts my head and pecks my lips.
"It's fine. I understand,"She says and pulls away.
I walk upstairs and switch my blue flannel to a different blue one.
I walk back downstairs and she smiles.
"What was the point of changing if you're wearing the same thing?"She ask.
"One has blood. One doesn't,"I say walking to her.
I grab her hand and she looks for her keys on the coffee table.
"I have them,"I say and pull them out of my pocket.
"So who is her ex?"Lauren asks as we walk out.
"Bryce hall,"I answer and she freezes in her spot.
I stop and look at her.
"Are you okay?"I ask.
"Do you know him?"I ask.
"Uh. No. Yeah I don't know. Can we just go to the hospital?"She asks.

"Baby talk to me,"I say as she looks down.
"Bryce tried to rape me a few years ago. Addisons not the first one I know tons of girls who got taken advantage of by him,"She says and starts crying.
"We can visit Addison and then spend the rest of the day cuddling. And then tomorrow is Camrens wedding. I won't ever let Bryce or anyone else touch you,"I say and she looks up smiling at me. I pull her in my embrace and she instantly wraps her arms around me and continues to cry in my chest.
Once she finishes she wipes her face off with her sleeve and pecks my lips.
"I'm so lucky I met you,"She says.
"I'm the lucky one here Laur,"I respond.
She smiles at me and pulls me to the car.
She grabs the keys from me. I take them back instantly.
"You were just crying. We're going because of my sister. I'm driving,"I say and open her door for her.
She gets in the car and I shut the door.
I walk over to the drivers side and I get in.
I start the car and I grab one of her hands.
I start driving to the hospital and I notice Lauren getting tense.
"Lauren it's going to be okay,"I say.
I lift our hands up and I kiss the back of her hand.
"Are you gonna be okay?"She asks.
"Yeah,"I respond.
Once we get to the hospital we go inside and I see Roni.
I walk over to her.
"What room is she in?"I ask.
"Follow me,"
Lauren and I follow her until we get to Addisons room.
I walk in and see her. She smiles at me.
"I'm guessing Alex told you what happened,"She says and I grab her hand.
"Yeah,"
"You went to him didn't you?"She asks.
"Yeah I'm sorry,"
"It's fine,"
"I don't think I'll be a let go to Camila and Lauren's wedding,"She says.
"I'll call them. Don't worry about it,"I say.
"So why'd he do it? If your okay with me asking,"I say.
"He saw me and asked if I wanted to get back with him. I told him no and that I'm happily in a relationship with the woman I love and he dragged me to an alley and that's when it happened,"She says.
"I'm gonna kick his ass again,"I say.
"No don't,"
"Babe I heard what happened I came as fast as I could,"Lisa says walking in the room.
"I'll be outside,"I say and kiss Addisons head before walking out the door to Lauren.
I instantly break down.
She wraps her arms around me.
"Lauren I fucking hate that guy,"I say crying into her chest.
"I know baby. I know,"She mumbles and rubs my back.
"She didn't deserve this. It should've been me,"I say.
She instantly lifts my head and locks eye contact with me.
"Don't ever say anything like that. It wasn't your fault, you didn't know. I don't know what I would do to anybody if they did something to you like that. Don't say that,"She says wiping my tears.
"I love you,"I say.
"I love you too,"She says and pecks my lips. As she pulls away I pull her back into a soft kiss.
She smiles and cups my face and my hands rest on her arms.
We pull away and I rest my head on hers.
"I don't know if I'm interrupting something, but my daughter is a big fan can she get a picture?"A women that looked around thirty says and I see a small kid hiding behind her leg.
"Of course,"Lauren responds pulling away from me.
The little girls walks out from behind her mom and walks to us.
"So who do you want a picture with baby?"Lauren asks kneeling down the the girls level.
"Both of you,"She responds.
Her mom takes out her phone and we take a couple pictures with the young girl.
After they walk away Lauren looks at me.
"So how did you know Bryce?"I ask.
"He's friends with my ex. They always talked about my body and Bryce would always say 'Once she lets you in, let me have her' and just a whole bunch of shit that made feel worthless and only wanted for my body. At the time I didn't even like my body. I hated everything about myself and when I had these two guys talking about my body it made me feel wanted somehow. I always came my sense though and pushed them away. Bryce tried to force me though until Dani walked into the room,"She says.
"Did Christian ever do that to you?"I ask grabbing her hands and pulling her close.
"Yeah a few times,"
I instantly pull her in my embrace and we stay there until Lisa walks out of Addisons room and tells us Addison wants to talk to us.
We pull away and walk into Addisons room.
"So what's up?"I ask.
"Nothing just chilling,"Addison says laughing.
"Hey babe I'll be outside,"Lauren says and kiss my cheek before walking out.
"So what were you two talking about yesterday because she seemed pretty pissed,"Addison asks.
"Grab your phone and look up my name on the internet,"I say.
She does as I say and looks at me.
"That's understandable. I would be mad at Lisa if she was hanging out with her ex,"
She continues scrolling on her phone.
"Um... people posted a picture from when you were together. And you look the same now and it's a picture of you kissing,"She says.
"Hold up. What?"
She hands me her phone.
"I got to go find Lauren. I'll tell Lisa to come in here,"
I walk out and tell Lisa to go inside.
I glance at Lauren and she rolls her eyes.
"What the hell is this?"She asks showing me her phone.
"Lauren listen,"
"I'm done listening,"She says turning around.
I grab her wrist and pull her against me.
"That's an old picture babe,"I say.
"Is it really or are you just saying that?"She ask pushing me away.
"No one even had that picture except for my family. We took that years ago when we like fifteen. I love you and only you. I could never you like that,"I say.
"If only your family had that picture who leaked it?"She asks.
I groan in realization.
"It was probably my dad,"I say.
"What is his problem? He wants us apart, but he knows I'm going to marry you and I love you,"She says and softly connects our lips.
"You don't love her,"I hear a familiar voice and I instantly back up.
Lauren wraps her arms around me protectively.
"He's not going to hurt you. I won't let him,"She mumbles and kisses my head.
"What the hell are you doing here?"Lauren asks my dad.
"Well I heard my daughter was in the hospital. I couldn't not come,"He smirks stepping closer.
"Don't come any closer,"Lauren says.
"She's my daughter I can see her if I want,"He responds.
"You weren't there for her so she really isn't your daughter,"
"I'm her father! I'm the reason she exists! I'll see her if I want!"He yells
My breathing gets harder and I feel myself slowly break down.
"What the hell is happening!?"Dad raises his voice again.
"Why would you care?"Lauren asks and she slowly helps me sit on the ground.
I hear her faintly say 'it's okay'.
"When did she start getting these!? She never got them before you started dating!"Dad yells again.
Lauren responds but I can't hear it. I'm trapped in my own space.
Lauren pulls me into her and rubs my back.
"It's okay princess. Focus on my breathing,"She says and places my hand on her chest and I slowly start breathing normally again.
I peck her lips.
"Thank you,"I mumble.
"I'll always be here for you,"She says kisses my nose.
We stand up and I look at my dad.
"Why do you get those?"He asks.
"I get them every time I think about you. I always think you're going to ruin the wedding somehow. I guess I was right. I mean putting out a picture of me with my ex from years ago? Dad you stooped so low. The biggest disappointment in my life is being your daughter,"I say.
"You aren't going to see Addison,"Lauren says.
"Fine, but I'm staying at your cousins house again,"He says and walks out.
"I'm sorry babe,"I say to Lauren.
"It isn't your fault,"She says hugging me.
I hug her back and she kisses the top of my head.
"Let's go home,"She says.
"I can't leave Addison,"
"She has Lisa here. You have to take of yourself too,"
"I don't want to leave,"
"Get on my back,"She says and I smile.
I peck her lips and she turns around. She flips her hair on her shoulder and I jump on her back.
She places her hands under my thighs to hold me up.
She starts walking outside.
Once we get to the car she opens the passenger door and places me on the seat.
She pecks my lips and shuts the door before going to the drivers side.
She gets in and starts the car.
As she starts driving back home she grabs my hand and lifts her left leg onto her seat and grabs the bottom of her steering wheel with her left hand to drive.
When we get home we cuddle for the rest of the day until the front door opens. Revealing the two people I hate.
